EXCLUSIVE: Eli Lilly gave compassionate use access to retatrutide, their unapproved powerful obesity drug, to a 79-year-old man in April. The application was arranged by a top doctor at NIH, and cleared by the FDA.
statnews.com/2026/06/23/eli…
Sources told STAT that application drew interest from top health officials. Given the demographics and the peculiar nature of the application, I asked the WH if this patient was President Trump, who turned 80 a week ago. I did not get a direct answer.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Trump was notably one of the first people administered an antibody treatment from Regeneron after he contracted the virus, via this same compassionate use pathway.

You don’t need to read 100 books on marriage, you just need to understand One of the most overlooked reasons marriages fail - Not knowing your spouse’s Mizaj

Let’s explore the Art of Loving Someone as Allah Created Them;
Temperament (mizaj) is the invisible rhythm behind how we think, feel, and love. It’s what makes one person quiet when upset, another loud when hurt, another numb when overwhelmed.

When you misunderstand it,
you start fighting your spouse’s nature, not their mistakes. Marriage is built on understanding more than love
Scholars described four core temperaments:

-Sanguine (Warm & Lively)
-Melancholic (Cool & Deep)
-Phlegmatic (Calm & Grounded)
-Choleric (Fiery & Driven)

Every person carries a dominant mizaj and a secondary one like spiritual DNA.

Most wallets send you to an external DEX to trade. LOBSTR doesn't. 🦞

@StellarOrg and the XRP Ledger both have exchanges built directly into the protocol, and LOBSTR is a wallet on both, meaning two native DEXes plus cross-chain routes, all in one app.

Here's how it works 👇 Image
@xrpl_commons 1️⃣ The DEX Is the Chain

Stellar and XRPL are two of the few blockchains where the decentralized exchange is part of the network itself, not a dApp on top.

Every wallet on either chain trades against the same shared orderbook, and LOBSTR puts both built-in DEXes in the same app.
2️⃣ How LOBSTR Routes Your Swap

Every Stellar swap hits two liquidity sources: Stellar Classic orderbook + AMM, and Aquarius AMM pools, and LOBSTR picks the better rate.

For trades over $20 where the regular route underperforms, Smart Swap splits the order into smaller paths.

My client had been trying to lose fat for over a year.
Not lazily.
Genuinely trying.
Starting strong every Monday.
Falling off by Thursday.
Restarting the following Monday.
The same cycle. Over and over. For a year.
13kg gone in 3 months once we broke it.
Here is what was actually happening and what finally fixed it.
Thread:Image
The pattern nobody had named for him:
When he described his year to me the pattern was immediately clear.
He would start with everything at once.
New diet. New training programme. New sleep schedule. New rules about alcohol. Early mornings.
All starting on the same Monday with the same burst of motivation.
By Thursday the motivation had faded.
One meal went off plan.
He decided the week was ruined.
By the following Monday he was starting again from scratch.
He had repeated this cycle so many times that he had started to believe the problem was him.
That he was someone who simply could not be consistent.
That was not the problem.
The problem was that he was rebuilding everything from zero every single Monday and expecting motivation to carry him through to the end.
Motivation is not a system.
It is a feeling.
And feelings fade.
What I simplified:
I stripped his programme back to the minimum required to produce results.
Three things only.
Plate structure at every meal.
Half vegetables. Quarter protein. Quarter carbs. Oil measured. Sugary drinks replaced with water.
No counting. No tracking. Just the plate.
Three gym sessions per week.
Not five. Not six.
Three. Short. Manageable.
8000 steps every day.
That was the entire programme.
Nothing that required a perfect day to execute.
Nothing that fell apart if one meal went sideways.
A bad meal meant the next meal followed the plate structure.
A missed session meant the next session happened as planned.
No restarting. No Monday fresh starts.
Just continuing.

Kasparov: Putin cannot stop the war. His system is built on it, budget, economy, propaganda, education. Kindergartens train with drones. Universities open special courses. Plan: a million drone operators by 2030.

War became Russia's routine. You can't reverse this in one second. 1/
Kasparov: An inclined plane from physics, one direction, speed always increasing. Napoleon couldn't stop. Hitler couldn't stop. Macron admitted diplomacy won't work here

For Putin, ending the war means total collapse, ideology, system, power. All of it built on permanent war 2/
Kasparov: Stalin demobilized 10 million over a decade, because he won. Red Flag over the Reichstag, new technologies, the West behind him. Something to build on.

Putin has no victory image. No triumph. His soldiers return from a war with no Reichstag moment, only retreat. 3/

1/8 PART 2: @cfmmuk's media analysis on Edinburgh attacks. Having examined TV, we now look at online.

782 articles on Golders Green across 4 days. Just 35 on Edinburgh.

Same question: does British media cover attacks on Muslim communities the same way?

The answer is NO! 🧵 Image
2/8 The volume gap online is even wider than broadcast.

Golders Green: 196 articles per day. Edinburgh: 9 per day.

Golders Green possible audience reach: 13.2 billion. Edinburgh: 701 million. Every metric tells the same story. Image
3/8 The same publications covered both stories very differently. GB News: 63 Golders Green articles, 1 Edinburgh. The Independent: 138 vs 4. The Guardian: 32 vs 2. Daily Express: 80 vs 2. Not one publication gave Edinburgh comparable coverage. Image

Let's get into how Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee died?

1948 war is raging - 13th August - Indian forces lost Skardu Fort after 6 month siege - it was a war between Indian forces and the Brits + paki proxies + British officers commanding indian army
same month - IB presents a report to nehru - highlights a communist conspiracy to stage a coup in j&k - sources for this report? Mainly the British resident's report from 1942 to 1947
- Brits didn't want abdullah in power - they thought national conference is a commie party
They support praja parishad party against national conference - after Delhi accord 1952 - praja parishad was ready for satyagrah - supported by shyama prasad - their leaders get arrested - shyama prasad tries to get into J&K - arrested at the border - sent to Sri nagar

A «lonely» Ukrainian housewife traded WhatsApp messages with a Chechen commander for months. "Send me a picture," she asked. He photographed himself and a map of his unit's position pinned on the wall behind him.

The housewife did not exist — The Atlantic. 1/ Image
"She" was a middle-aged Ukrainian intelligence officer named Serhiy. Shortly after Achmad sent the photo, a drone struck the coordinates it revealed.

His commander: "Serhiy was great at flirting. Guys in our team started asking him for dating advice." 2/
Inside occupied territory, any phone sold there comes preloaded with Russian spyware called Druge. Encrypted apps like Signal guarantee a trip to "the basement."

Resistance agents smuggle in clean phones — sometimes delivered by drone — with no SIM card and no spyware. 3/

1/ Russia's air defence teams are manned by "homeless people, alcoholics, deserters, disabled people, idiots", complains a Russian warblogger. In the face of continued failures to stop Ukrainian drone attacks, urgent investment in robotic defence systems is advocated. ⬇️ Image
2/ 'Military Chronicle' argues that "recent incidents involving the use of attack drones against targets in Moscow and Voronezh demonstrate that the human factor is becoming the most critical vulnerability in modern air defence systems."
3/ 'Dead Heads' explains that Russia's mobile fire teams are attracting the wrong kind of recruits: "We're forming Mobile Task Forces (MOGs) and assembling them by units: homeless people, alcoholics, 500s, disabled people, idiots – why aren't they shooting down anything?"

The worst case of pandemic death inflation was 1918.

Wellcome Trust claim 100 million people died from Spanish Flu.

That is an impossible number.

Here is why. 🧵 Image
Let's start with some numbers that people agree with.

There were 1.8 billion people on the planet.

A third were infected.

That is ~600 million infections. Image
That gives us the problem in a nutshell.

The Wellcome Trust are claiming 1 in 6 people infected died.

That is 17%.

The evidence suggests that is out by at least ten fold.
